Customer Review: Great for drummers!
Summary: 4 Stars

I wanted to write this review for those drummers out there who want a little extra "kick" in their bass drum. I use a nice monitor when our band plays out but still don't get that deep "thump" from my bass drum to help keep me in the pocket.
I just received the buttkicker today and hooked it up to my computer just to feel the bass from my cd's. It really works. I was quite surprised at the power this thing puts out. I then hooked it up to my Roland digital drums I practice on. I have a direct out for my bass drum pad which I plugged into the Buttkicker. My throne was a rockin'. This really gave me that deep thump I was looking for. Kudos to the Guitammer company.
I haven't yet hooked this up to our band's P.A. system and used it with my real drums but I'm planning on doing the same thing - taking a direct out from my bass drum channel (on our mixer) and plugging it into the Buttkicker amp. Hopefully everything will work out well. If I encounter any problems I'll write another review to explain.
I wasn't able to find any reviews for drummers who have used this product so I wanted to write one myself to help my fellow drummers out.

Customer Review: ButtKicker Gamer
Summary: 5 Stars

It does what it says it will. The materials and craftmanship are top notch. It adds to the realism of gaming, for me flight simming. For the most part, the only time you will feel it when flight simming is, taxiing, takeoff ( wheels rolling, gear up, flaps), and then landing, an excellent job here when the wheels hit the runway. I tried it with a music cd, and it works great.
A little pricey, but if you can find a rebate for it, then it's definately worth the price.

Customer Review: bassgitars are not good for the un-astronauted nor is the shuttle launch
Summary: 3 Stars

Why would you hook a motor gasket to your easy office deluxe(or whatever chair) to rumble at the slightest hint of bass. Don't listen to Rush(as in NOT Limbaugh) with this thing. The heavy gitars and odviously Thu Gedster's thump'n bastad sword of dbase will kill! At least don't listen to Vapor Trails or Counter. Rapsters and techno music is perfect. As for games, most games are story emirsive that I play(as in RPG and the adventure types) but action FPS benifit slightly except for a loss in coordination if you use foot pedals or a percision mouse. Airplane, and rocket sims(there are few of those) are the best as you can max it for the rumble in the capsule sim affair.
Movies are only good at lower settings and your chair has to handle the pressure. Mine supports my fat-a&^ 250 lbs bod but rolls on tiled flooring. Get the bigger model that is for the couch and lounger.(unless the girl that lives next door is completely deaf and has sensitive feet, or so I'm told.).
Spaceships are cool and counter the tension of bordom and restlessness in the mundane world of rewardless afterhours with the feeling of exileration and "traveling". Try a sim as in MS Flight Pro 04 or the un-user friendly space stuff. An Army or War game or movie is good too, but everything else is just a novelty and I forget about it after a while and remove the hardware. Icaris(or other name) crash sequence in 'Planet of the Apes' is just priceless(max it to total distruction to "can yer krev".), a theme-park sim in 1968 even in ot-six. Also Star Trek Generatons "Riker Incident"(not so sim). but not the rest of the movie. Can thu chair and get a better boom. Subs are not as expensive even at "higher" RMS and "Burst". You won't upset the neighbors with a High RMS at low volume.(knock on wooded flooring panels).

P.S. Dudley Simpson's Doctor Who music is rediculous with this thing. Use with caughtion, can cause death from excessive laughter at the arch-humor levels.

Customer Review: It's great and kicks *ss!
Summary: 5 Stars

Easy to hook up and works as advertised, now I can feel the music and live the movies! Splitter is included so you can connect subwoofer/speakers. Well worth the money.
